Just kind of a bland ale, but refreshing. Aroma is light iced tea, a bit of sweetness and some wet paper. Appearance was a very nice clear amber body with a nice 2" off-white head. Head left behind some decent lacing clings. Flavor had a bit of earthyness to it, light caramel and light spice notes. Went down very easy. Very nice mouthfeel.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 7, 2009 500 mL Bottle. Amber body with a small off-white bubbly head that settles to a foamy film and ring around the glass, lacing the sides as it is sipped. Aroma of light malt, crystal malt, and brown sugar with a certain astringency to it; a very faint innuendo of pine. Light malt and a nice strong expression of hops come through in the taste, sweet-spicy peppery aftertaste and a finish of orange and crystal malt. I could drink this all evening in a pub.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 2, 2009 Nice copper color. Fruity hop aroma. Thin malt flavor, with a bit of caramel and fruit, yet decent hopping. Good enough but unexciting and too light.

Another beer to drink but this one special it claims on the back of the bottle “Suitable for vegetarians” I can finally drink a beer now without risk of getting a giant hunk of pork in it. Beer appears to be hazy honey brown with a very tall very thick very long lasting cap on top, the lacing is stupidly thick. Strong aroma I can smell it from across the table, this aroma seems wrong; arm pit, wood, mild toffee, touch of skunky hops. The taste is at least sweet and malty with a bitter finish. Some notable hops, pepper, mild coffee, touch of a metallic finish. Brew goes down smooth and is medium bodied. Good beer nothing special would never purchase again unless I found it on tap maybe."

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jul 13, 2009 Started well, as I was impressed with the classy label as well as with the clear and sparkling copper body underneath a frothy, off-white head. Then things took an unfortunate downturn, beginning with what I can only describe as an "odd" nose, I just cannot place what this smelled like. Then it got worse. Mouthfeel was rather sharp and the taste was quite sour, with a finish that was no better. Perhaps this was just a rogue bottle, as I’ve not had any similar experience with a Wychwood. Be that as it may, I found this to be a rather unpleasant beer. Sorry.
